(For those just popping in, this is an imaginary scenario that's part of a class we are doing and not real life.)
It’s day 8 of no power (except for that one hour of power) and still no word on when it will be restored.
Water is questionable, depending on where you live? (If you’re on city or county water and it’s
still flowing, is it safe to drink?)
Employment is hit and miss, without power your and or your
husband’s employer has sent you home until this ‘crisis’ is over.
The schools are ‘temporarily’ closed until further notice.
Everyone is home together, learning how to coexist without driving each other crazy! You might even say that you're beginning to get 'on each other's nerves' a bit!
In addition, everyone is starting to get a bit of cabin fever, including yourself so you take yourself off for a walk, by yourself … or at least that’s your intention!
You open the door and, in your eagerness to start your walk, you trip over your own feet and take a tumble out the door. If you have steps, this could be a serious tumble!
You sit stunned for a moment as realization sinks in that your right
foot is hurting pretty badly.
You look down at it and you see blood oozing from a gash, and the whole
foot is swelling.
You know instantly that this is not good! What are you going to do? How are you going to treat your injury?
Okay, let's test your medical preparedness ... how are you going to handle this?

Well, I hobble back in and go to the bathroom to run a bucket of cold water. Get the blood washed off to see what is really the problem! Raised three kids and one extremely klutzy husband so no panic. Grab a dry washcloth to apply pressure until the blood stops. Have hubs get the antibiotic and stretch bandage to make what I hope will be a temporary fix, never know with Patsy though! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, LOL ... you are so right ... stay tuned ... the plot will thicken!!!
DeleteBack into the house I go. First wash off the blood, apply antibiotic cream and bandage. Then get ice from the freezer that is being run by the generator. Apply ice and elevate my foot. Sue in Mn
